Five Chelsea players Pochettino wants to build his Chelsea team around
Mauricio Pochettino has pinpointed the five Chelsea stars he want to rebuild the team around as he closes in on being appointed as the club’s next manager.
According to The Mirror, Pochettino wants to keep Kante at Chelsea despite Barcelona, PSG and Bayern Munich all being interested in signing the Frenchman on a free transfer.
Pochettino is keen on replicating his rebuilds at Southampton and Tottenham by securing a defensive platform in the team before worrying about the attack.
Young defenders Benoit Badiashile and Levi Colwill are also safe along with full-backs Reece James and Ben Chilwell.
Pochettino is understood to be looking for a new goalkeeper at Chelsea with question marks over both Kepa and Edouard Mendy.
